Farmer woman from Amager, 1843. Dressed in national costume; black robe with rich appliqués and edging in different colours. Large, gilded buckles on the chest. Hood tied with a ribbon around the neck. Psalm book in one hand and white handkerchief in the other. White gloves. The psalm book and the white gloves and the handkerchief suggest that it is holiday dress she is wearing, as if she is on her way to church. On the left, Copenhagen can be seen on the horizon. Bright blue sky.
